Happy Easter, Happy Spring


Happy Bloomin' Everything! To *honor* spring, I've decided to treat myself to new curtains made from painters cloths. Not so easy to find six in the same shade, but I worked it out. After washing on warm with soapy water and downy, they came out smelling oh so sweet. I tossed them into the dryer and wrapped myself in their softness.

The cloth will closely resemble linen after dried. Can you beat that for $10 plus change?

I love the idea, but wanted to *amp* mine up. Using fabric I already had, I added a 7.5" band of fabric across the top of the cloth. I didn't sew the bottom on, I liked the idea of *floating*...giving my window panel a little somethin' somethin' extra.

The band is 9.5, using 1" seam on top and bottom.

  4. I cannot believe these are painters' cloths! They look awesome! Thanks so much for coming by my blog and for your nice comment on my headboard. I actually have THREE cats and the headboard has been safe so far- they haven't even given it a second glance. :)
